Description on this project

Incheon International Airport Transportation Center is an icon of dynamism, embracing culture and flight and invoking the future. The structural form and composition symbolize flight and dynamism. The steel truss structure rises from the ground and vaults over the hall. The long graceful curves of the skeletal roof express the fluid form of a plane in take-off. Resting on top is the futuristic pod-like flight control center. With its glass belly, it acts as an aerofoil for the natural ventilation of the interior hall.
